Rep. Cory Mills (R-FL) recently crowed about his "100% family rating" from the right-wing Family Research Council despite claims that he assaulted a former girlfriend and threatened to release nude photos of another.
In a report to law enforcement last February, a woman who was not Mills' wife told the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department that the lawmaker used force with his hands or feet against her.
Although police sent a warrant for Mills' arrest, the allegations were recanted before it could be signed. Mills later insisted that there was "no physical altercation."
Later in 2025, a second ex-girlfriend accused Mills of threatening to release intimate videos after she ended their romantic relationship. Mills also denied those allegations.
On Thursday of this week, Mills decided to burnish his family-values credentials by noting that he had received an award from the Family Research Council in 2025.
"I'm honored to have received a 100% rating from the Family Research Council," Mills wrote on X. "Their mission to champion faith, family, and freedom, and to advance a culture where life is valued and religious liberty thrives, is at the core of what I'm fighting for in Congress."
"I'll continue working every day to defend those principles and deliver for the people I serve."
It was unclear whether the group had also given Mills a similar award this year.
